Feb 27, 2012

Cambridge, Mass.- UMBC junior goalkeeper Adam
Cohen (Arnold, Md./The Severn School) has been named
America East Conference Men's Lacrosse Player of the Week, the
league announced today.

Cohen made a career-high 14 saves and scored a goal in the 11-7
win at Rutgers on Feb. 26. He stopped seven shots and allowed two
first half goals as the Retrievers (1-1) built a 5-2 halftime edge.
UMBC increased the lead to 10-4, but the Scarlet Knights (2-2) took
13 fourth quarter shots and Cohen repelled seven attempts in the
final 15 minutes.

On a late clearing attempt, Cohen netted the
11th goal of the game to thwart the Rutgers rally
and it is the first score by a Retriever netminder in 32 years of
NCAA Division I play.

The victory was Cohen's first victory since an 8-7 overtime
win at Vermont on April 24, 2010.

Cohen's first career win also occurred at Rutgers, a 6-5 victory
on Feb. 28, 2010. He has 24 saves through two games this season and
a save percentage of 58.5.
